Asia Artist Awards is one of those award giving bodies where k-pop artists rub shoulders with k-drama actors in an event filled with explosive performances and beautiful faces.

While most artists performed smoothly and without glitch, there were a few unfortunate people who experienced technical difficulties during their performance such as BLACKPINK and BTS's J-Hope. According to Allkpop, Jennie and Lisa's microphones were both not working properly during BLACKPINK's performance of their hit singles 'Whistle' and 'Playing with Fire.' Fans were extremely upset by this technical error because this is the first time that BLACKPINK had performed in a big awards show. However, the girls still delivered a spectacular performance amid all the errors.
If BLACKPINK was a technical error, J-Hope's blunders were all his doing. His microphone fell off during the first parts of their performance. However, he was also able to attach it back before a lot of people could notice.
